ROCHESTER — The Frisbie Memorial Hospital Auxiliary has announced its 26th Annual “Lights of Love” Ceremony for Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 4:30 p.m. at the Community Education and Conference Center next to the hospital.

Jane Cooper Fall, co-chair of “Lights of Love” and auxilian of Frisbie Memorial Hospital said, “This is one of Rochester’s great holiday traditions where people gather for a special time of remembrance, honoring their loved one in a unique and heart-warming way. Each year it’s our pleasure to invite the community to participate in this joyous holiday event. Our program includes refreshments, Christmas carols and our lighting ceremony.”

To designate a “Love Light,” a brochure can be picked up at the information desk on the ground floor of the main hospital. A $5 donation is suggested per light. Each “Love Light” on the Christmas tree will memorialize or honor the donor’s loved one. Special announcement cards will be mailed to whomever the donor designates. Checks are payable to FMH Auxiliary. There is no limit on the amount of the donation or the number of people one may honor. Note: A brochure can mailed by calling (603) 330-8979.

Every year, the STAR on the rooftop Christmas tree is lit in honor of a person or a group who has made a special contribution to the community. This year the star will shine in honor of all Frisbie’s health care providers.

Strands of lights will grace the Lights of Love Tree on the front lawn of the Frisbie Conference Center in memory of Auxilian Life Members, Janice Cooper Adams, Edna Bailey, Loretta Cormier and Beulah Thayer as well as hospital volunteers, Mandy Mullen and Marguerite Tatten.

In addition, strands of lights will be placed in honor of Auxilian Life Member and Centurion, Edythe Drew (104 years old).
